Sabotage the Warp-Gate!

Escort Drijya to the warp-gate at Invasion Point: Destroyer, and see to it that he is kept safe while he attempts to sabotage it. Then speak to Gahruj at the Midrealm Post inside Eco-Dome Midrealm in the Netherstorm.

Burning Legion warp-gate sabotaged

Suggested players: 3

Description

With the Burning Legion nearby at the fel reaver scrap field, we must do what we can to stop the flow of demons into the area.

They have a warp-gate to the south in an area that they've cleverly named Invasion Point: Destroyer.

I need you to go with me to the site and keep me safe while I sabotage it.

Afterward, go to the Midrealm Post to the north inside Eco-Dome Midrealm and apprise Gahruj of our success.

Umm, I got this quest, he says "Take a moment to prepare yourself" and then disappears, and I get a fail message. Is this bugged?

Comment by wuddersup

I think the quest is bugged. Keep getting random failures!

Comment by carstone

Still bugged for me

Comment by fridgid

Pretty easy a 69 fire mage. The hardest part was easily the 10 imp thing, but I'd imagine anybody who can take the 10 imps can do the rest of it solo. I'd recommend preclearing the mobs that are there before hadn. Its just down the road at 49, 65.

Comment by couzen

Solod as a lvl 68 darc pact warlock. Used healthstone and bandage once. and I drank some mage water too :P, totally solable :)

Comment by Aludan

If i remember there were only 3 imps and hardest part for me was '3 demons' ... anyway soloed as 69 frost mage ^^

edit: lol - i've just realized i did it with -50 stamina from netherblom curse :D

Comment by annick

Imps are fairly easy

doomguards have a fair amount of life, they also put a "vicious rend" on you, that stacks. With 3 stacks it was doing 406 damage to me. They hit for 300-400 on 69 rogue.

just burned the 70 down.

Comment by epolady

Soloed as a 69 warrior. Had to pot once on the Doomguard 'wave' and bandage after each pylon.

Comment by janitz

This quest is still randomly bugged, as it was in late beta.

It failed for us once last night right after the "Take a moment to prepare" line. When he respawned, we decided to try taking the quest dismounted - it then worked and we were able to successfully complete.

The alliance group who tried it after my successful run failed it immediately, and their druid was shifted into cat form.

I do NOT know if any of these things actually caused the failure, or if the failure is completely random (or perhaps even if it fails after a successful completion).

Comment by Kyrra

I'm in a 2-person group. It seems, after one of us picks the quest up, it fails within 10 seconds.. and we sometimes get multiple fail messages.

Comment by Flyv

This quest worked for me solo (I died), then failed in a group of 4 several times, then worked in a group of 3 with almost the same people. The one thing I know for sure is don't have anyone in your group with a failed version of the quest in their log. But even then, it bugged on me once. Then it worked.

Comment by Nimchip

Apparently: if the Engineers aren't up when you accept the quest, it will do the fail instantly thing. Make sure the Engineers are up first before accepting.

Comment by suavis

Soloed as a Holy Specced Paladin. If you are running low on health or mana during the last demon, stop attacking and let the NPC pick him up. He can last a decent amount of time. I let him get down to 4% before picking back up the Demon.

Pretty easy though.

Comment by trancer

This quest is a total joke for level 70 locks. The imp's are a laugh. 8 of them? Who gives, they hit for nothing. Spam Seed of Corruption on about 6 of the imps coming out and have good fun. The fel guards are just tank by VW (hold all 3, no problem really) and nuke. The last boss has a bit of HP but matter of tank and nuke aswell. Done. Very soloable!

Comment by Gahlok

Soloable for a 70 feral druid. If you want clear the pylons area to have less mobs (I didn't do this, tho).

Comment by Hadden

This quest is still bugged for me

Comment by Declannic

Soloed it like nothing. Lvl 70 shadow priest. Only used my shadow fiend for mana once and didn't really have to. Easy... no 3 man required.

Comment by pfilias

Still bugged for me. 0 for 2.

Comment by anteract

Just tried this one 3 times. Solo. He says "Very well. Before we head down there, take a moment to prepare yourself.Then it goes Duh-dun.... Sabotage the Warp-Gate! failed.

Comment by boomix

Quest is bugged and I won't bother with it until they fix it. Just like Deathblow to the legion on server:Malfurion it has been stuck for last two weeks probably by same players who can't complete the quest.

Comment by Chilcoot

I was able to trigger this solo the first time I tried. I almost completed it, but died. A friend joined my party. She had tried before to solo, but also died. We could not initiate the quest together, no matter what we tried. In a 2-man party or solo, and without regard to whether we'd abandoned quest. Bugged to me.

Comment by ghman

Solo'd as a 70 combat fist rogue, wasn't too bad. I used blade-flurry + AR on the imps, I used a grenade on the 3 demons so they didn't kill my escort, and I used blade flurry on the last two engineers, then I vanished+bandaged to full to kill the last demon.

Comment by Highlander

Solo'd this as a 68 Rogue (only just).Kill all the mobs around the warp gate first then, go take the quest.First point Drijya stops out, spawns about about a dozen small fire imps. Low HP mobs, easy for AoE classes. Bandage after.Second point Drijya stops at, spawns 4-5 Terrorfiend type mobs, that are level 68-69. They can hit fairly hard, but as a Rogue, blade flurry+evasion, then blind one after BF has worn off and sink a health pot and your good. Bandage or eat quickly afterwards.Last point Drijya stops at, spawns a level 70 Terrorfiend type mob. Didn't look like an elite, but seemed to hit harder than a normal level 70. Was fairly straightforward.

This can be easily solo'd as a Hunter or Warlock. Will be trying with my Mage and Warrior later on to see if it's possible.

Comment by Melior

I think whatever was bugged has been fixed now. I soloed this as a 70 Shadow Priest and was able to kill the engineers during the escort without failing the quest. I don't know, however, if killing the engineers *before* the quest will still cause it to fail.

Comment by Astralen

Totally soloable as a 70 frostmage. No consumables used, not even gems. You can drink/eat between each fight.

Kill the mob standing next to the pylon.1st wave - 10 imps that hit for 120+ (on cloth)

Kill another mob standing next to the 2nd pylon.2nd wave - 3 demons that hit for 220+ (on cloth)

Kill the two mobs standing next to the 3rd pylon.3d wave - 1 master demon hitting for 650+ and MS for 700ish (on cloth). Has around 9k HP if i remember correctly.

Comment by Omri

SO frustrating. After accepting the quest (all the guys were up at this time) and going to the first gate, I killed the mob after the NPC engaged him, then the 10 imps spawned. As a warrior, I had little choice other than to pop retaliation and challenging shout to make short work of them. Right before the last one dies, boom! Despawned NPC, after wasting a 30 minute cooldown...

Comment by h4rr0d

i just (2.0.12) did this Q without any problem. killed all mobs (on second pylon i got agro before the Q NPC), scored killing blows on all adds and at least 1 engineer, and stil, completed the QEDIT: when i came to game now, aliance lock tried to get the Q, the NPC said its 'get ready' phrase and despawned, so im either lucky, or dunno...

Comment by Spanky

Comment by simb666

pretty easy, anyone can solo this well all level 70's. I soloed it as a level 70 mage just heal fast and let him tank. loot after.

Comment by Mp3Pintyo

Easy soloed lvl 68 BM hunter.

Comment by hhallahh

Had no problem with this quest on my Mage and Shadow Priest, but found it incredibly frustrating with my feral Druid. The main problem is that the NPC will run past the engineers around each post and summon the mobs... while this was okay on the first and second waves, it consistently lead to my having to start the third wave with two additional warp engineers around, which simply wasn't going to happen.

I tried pulling the mobs to the NPC... if it were a normal NPC, he would have attacked them when they hit me, but he simply ignored them.

I tried killing the mobs around the third gate before he activated the first gate, but I was unable to do this fast enough to kill the third engineer and the imps while keeping us both up.

Ended up just giving up after dying five times or so. Annoying corpse run too. Ultimately the source of frustration wasn't just dying, but the fact that the stupid AI would keep activating the gates before the engineers were dead.

Comment by Spheniscus

Soloed as a level 70 23/38 specced warlock, I really don't understand why this is a group quest. Easily soloed.

A few tips, on the imps load them up with seed of corruption, 3-5 seeds should take them all out.Use your voidwalker if your specced into Master Demonoglogist, the 10% physical damage reducer is really nice.

If you get in too deep remember you can always banish one of the mobs/the mob you are having trouble with and bandage up. Good luck and have fun!

Comment by dexforget

its cuz a bunch of no tallent people bought characters "blizzard" still wants thier money so they posted 3 players on the quest to make sure that at least they TOLD them that since they cant play for "well, lets face it you know what i want to say" that they had a chance if they just bring a few of thier friends.... horde tho.. we got this down.. bet all the previous write-ins are pretty much horde or mainly horde with a harrassment alliance toon.

Comment by Khayman

Just did it with my shadow priest... wasn't sure i could solo and i got the help of a nice guy who was passing nearby... but anyway it's quite easy now.

On first pylon i got 2 non elite imps, on second pylon i got 3 demons, and on the last i got 1 demon. Pretty easy to manage with a bit of fear and dots to be honest.

Comment by sono

soloed as lvl70 elemental shaman. not even heroism or any elemental used

Comment by hroskar

Soloed with 70 feral druid. It was moderately challenging but as with any escort quest I was more worried about the NPC than myself.

I put on my tanking gear and made sure not to kill the engineers before starting the quest. While the NPC is hammering at each pylon, there's about 10-15 seconds to kill the engineer posted there, which was fine for me.

The imps were cake because they just deal a low amount of melee damage, something bear form is perfect for. The next group of 3 I handled similarly, with bear form and a bit of CC (nature's grasp). The third post is tricky only because there are 2 engineers posted there; still, in bear form I fought of the second engineer I couldn't kill fast enough along with the spawn.

Comment by Anenome

Soloed as a 70 prot pally in decent Kara gear. Pop Righteous Fury, take the waves of enemies as they come, consecration keeps 'em off the NPC, let them kill themselves beating against you as normal, I didn't even have to heal except between pylons. I could see it being hardish for a non-70 to solo.

Comment by iv00w

Alright idk about arms or prot, but this was too easy as fury. It's hard without sweeping strikes, though.

Comment by psxchelly

Solo'd as a lvl 70 enhancement shaman. some decent greens, 8500 health, 6800 mana - duel wield 1. first wave... as soon as you start to fight the lvl 68 guy, throw your Fire Elemental totem.. the fire guy will help you fight the 9 little demons. they are lvl 68, don't hit all that hard. there is a 2 min cooldown before you can throw your Earth elemental, so timing is crucial.

Heal a little bit you have a couple seconds..

2. second pylon, attack the lvl 68 guy, and then after you kill him the 3 demons come, throw your Earth elemental totem... he wont be able to help you all the way through cause these guys hit a little harder.. but he will buy enough time for you to get yourself a more even fight. then kill them.

Comment by markoshead

Soloed as 69 shadow priest pretty easy. Hard part would be when the imps come just dot up fear and they will die.

Comment by Katsumo

I just soloed this as a 70 arms warrior, not too difficult, a little strategy is necessary... But for some reason the NPC just vanished into thin air as soon as the legion destroyer was killed. Anyone else have this problem?

Comment by moenbase

Ok, as a protection warrior I found out that it's useless to just gather mobs before they touch the NPC.The NPC only comes to aid if he has been hit/tagged by one of the mobs. And then he will only kill the mob that has hitted him. So best way to do this is by letting him hit by every mob and then just take aggro from the NPC. This should let the NPC help you kill the mobs.If you don't do this, and u don't get the mobs killed before he runs to the next pylon. He will just go to the next one and therefor luring more mobs at which point he will die.

Comment by bericson

As priest you will have no problem just shield and dot, no need to fear the imps as they might pull add mobs. Dot and fear the demons a bit back. Spank, sheild and heal on the lv70.(lv70 holy specc)The legs will sell for the highest amount 5g 32s 96c, at lv70 this adds upp to a total of 23g 60s 96c

Comment by R34p3r

Soloed as a 68/69 frostmage (became 69 while doing the quest) with crappy green gear. Tried to take out the engineers as fast as possible, while resting meanwhile he was doing his stuff.

Everything went well, and i used cold snap at the final mob since he hitted me a little bit harder than i expected, so i let my second elemental tank him while healing me and regen my mana.

Comment by Helius

soloed this as a 70 balance druid with full epic pvp gear, and i was really amazed.. I took out all the imps by throwing moonfire on each of them when they spawned, to get aggro, then i used barkskin and hurricane. When the larger demons arrived, i nuked them down individually, no big deal. Had a mana break after that, and at the third spot, when the larger demons arrived, i used treants and just nuked the hell out of them. This quest was very, very easy.

Comment by Chyke

Easily soloable as a 68 feral druid in greens. Just go bear when the imps arrive, single target in cat form the three demons that spawn after that, then for the final guy, go cat, pounce, mangle twice, go bear and frenzied regen or bash & heal if necessary.

Don't even need tanking gear.

Comment by Aleriel

Soloed as a 70 warlock. Pretty easy, all considered, though I was pretty low on mana by the end of phase 2. But you have some time to eat/drink between phases, so it's not really an issue.

Comment by Infiniti

Easily soloed as a restoration shaman using the earth elemental on the final wave.

Comment by nimajneb

I don't think it's still neccesary i add something to this, but tbh this quest really was easy... i was actually waiting for the hard part to come, and then it was complete :P. So don't worry if your gear is like mine full epic.

Comment by Sppirit

Soloable by a 69 Demo Warlock

Comment by thefluffyrocker

Extremly easy to solo as a 69 hunter,none of the mobs hit very hards.The most 'interesting' bit was the imps at the start.Just had to gain aggro on them all with my pet then kill them all.Didn't even need mend pet while killing them as they hit for so little.

Comment by Gahlok

Soloable as a 70 Combat Sword Rogue. Try to eat between waves and don't go in unless you are at fully health. The NPC can take a bit of beating until you are fully healed.

Personally I would recommend using Blade Flurry on all waves (since it should be up for all of them) and if you have any sort of trouble use AR (I used mine on the last wave just to finish it fast, but it was only one mob).

Comment by Oathmaker

Easily soloed as a 68 Frost-spec mage. I had no trouble at all other than on the imps, Yeah, too many of them to AoE, so I just took them seperately, have the dude tank, but get aggro on a few, and keep them CCed with Nova, its stupid to have them all on you. Of course, Ice Barrier helps a little...So keep that on if you're that type of person but I saw no need for it. Anyway, the second round was a little easier, having less at once. Let the guy tank two, and you quickly exterminate one, using burst-tactics by just Frostbolting then Ice Lancing. It really shouldnt be that hard, as the third guy is very easy to kill, being non elite and whatnot, just keep him frozen, and use your elemental if you need-be.

Comment by Erag

Just done it.Im BM hunter 41/19/0 69lvl.Its easy but dont forget to keep mend pet all the time on and you gonna do it...

Comment by Rille

Soloed as a level 69 frost mage. Very easy since Drijya tanks pretty good. Targeted one at the time and used elemental on last mob.

Comment by Daedlus

Managed to solo at 69 with an affliction warlock with my imp out. Kill the mobs that were there before he got to the pylon and used Howl of Terror on every one just dotted them all up. almost died on the last wave though

Comment by Antiproton

Easily soloed as a 70 Boomkin. Single-target the engineers, Barkskin/Hurricane the imps, Treants/single target the second wave, and burn down the last mob. No problem.

Comment by Mirtul

Piece of cake as a warlock. On the second pylon I banished second mob. After he got out of banish he started evading and I didn't get the third one. Last one is easy and first one is easy as well with siphon life

Comment by Lupah

Many people fail to mention that you gotta let the mobs hit Drijya first. If you get aggro first, Drijya will just keep on moving even though you are fighting! Thus making the quest much harder than it has to be.

So make sure Drijya takes a hit first. He will then stay and fight with you the whole time.

Comment by thejxc

Completed no problems as a 70 Feral Druid with a mix of greens, blues and epics. Bear form for the imps, cat form for the rest. Popped a potion on the second fight.

Comment by stasis007

No worries as lv69 Prot Pally in standard eq.

Worth noting that you don't need to panic and try and kill stuff quickly, just let everything hit Drijya then consecrate to pull everything onto you - including the engineer(s). Sprinkle Judgements of Light and Wisdom throughout the pull and let HS and Consecrate kill everything for you. Pro-Pallys are designed for these kind of fights.

The lv70 demon on the 3rd pull isn't difficult and you can heal the npc if you really need to. I sat on my ass and let him start the 2xengineer/demon fight, cast HL on him and drew aggro.

Comment by Kallech

Soloed this easily as a 70 demo warlock (standard 7/43/11 build). For the small groups of demons I did a simple Seed of Corruption->Shadow Bolt->Seed of Corruption->Shadow Bolt->etc. rotation. It blows up the imps quickly. I had to resummon my felguard once because I didn't watch his health too closely, but Drijya never got below 70% health.

Comment by Aminoth

I solo'd this as a level 68 Prot Paladin. Was easy, spammed consecrate the whole time, and holy shield in each encounter, on the imps i just used seal of righteousnes > judgementbut on the 2nd encounter, i used seal of light > judgementon one demon, and kept going till he dropped, then switched to the next demon and repeated it.on the final encounter, i used seal of the crusader > judgementon the level 70 demon that spawns, then seal of righteousness > judgementrepeatedly, also hitting exorcism whenever it's ready, didn't need to use any pots or buffs (except blessing of kings) although i needed a quick break inbetween for a bit to eat and drink :-)

level 70 3 man group quest my ass ;)

Comment by Dixat

Very easy for a warlock, the demons are fearable:

The first pack, just spam SoC on 4-5 imps and they'll die very easily.The second pack you can banish one, fear one and fight the other. Of course using fear is at your own risk of pulling the 2 engineers at the last pillar :p

And the third "pack"(mob) is even easier, seeing as there probably aren't any mobs left so you can just apply your DoT's and fear it ^_^ All this was done as a level 70 Demo/Destro lock (0/21/40).

I almost died once but luckily I had my Voidwalker out in case I needed it's shield.. which I did xD

Comment by pyius

Solo'd easily as a Disc/Holy priest. The NPC doesn't go down that easily. He's also buffable for any buff classes.

Comment by constaa

I soloed this as a 68 hunter from second try.

Comment by kaze950

Solo'd as a 68 BM hunter with moderate difficulty. IMO, hardest part is first wave, because there are so many mobs. Second wave would have been easier if the quest NPC understood that frozen mob = do not attack. Third wave was easy, only a little hard because the escort did the thing to summon the third wave before I could get rid of the two normal mobs that spawn there.

Definently not a three-man quest. Could be easily done with 2.

Comment by Backpain

When the NPC says "lets get out of here" don't haul ass and leave. You will fail the quest instantly, even if the gate has been destroyed.

Comment by Milkshake

I finished this quest on interesting way.

I killed imps easily. He sabotaged second pylon and 3 demons came, but while I was fighting them, he went to sabotage third pylon. I died fighting demons, and I released spirit, but when I came to my corpse he was still fighting demons. I helped him and I finished quest by myself. (68 lvl enhancement shammy)

So, If you die fighting mobs, don't give up, just hurry up, you still might have a chance!

Comment by Panjuel

Solo'd as a 69 arms warrior. Used a pot and bandages in between fights....oh and i ate some food once too.

Not too bad.

Comment by Arkmediusx

Just solo-ed on a Death Knight Blood spec level 68. Pretty simple, got rid of the mobs in the area first, when the Imps came out casted Death & Decay onto the floor, Raisen Ghoul and with enough Rune Power to Summon the Rune dancing blade. Eat and patched up between fights to keep my HP full.

Demons where the same process as the Imps.

Comment by GeoScav

pretty easy with imps and second pylon demons, at the Heat Manifold it wasn't easy, didn't make it to kill all the warp gate engeeneers till the legion destroyer showed up, but i soloed it with a shield (reward from a quest) and 50% hp.. didn't even drink a potion.. just used Shield Block, Shield Wall and Disarm.. Legion Destroyer was killed when i had 10%... (oh yea, i feared him and used Heavy Netherweave Bandage)

i think it's a bug that it's recommended for 3 players... :D

(Hope it'll be handy for fury warriors on this quest)

Comment by Danoran

Soloed as a 69 Death Knight in Outland quest reward greens.

Used Death and Decay to get the aggro on me after the mobs hit the Ethereal, and then just DPSed them down.

Only needed a couple of rune taps.

Comment by fecility

Solo'd as a lvl 68 rogue, easy! only thing i used was a few Heavy Netherweave Bandage.

Comment by rimlanin

EASY! Soloed as a 68 unholy tanking DK (yes unholy tank) with quest greens and some blues from instances. The hardest point in the quest was when you get like 5+ imps on you, but i just layed DnD used blood boil did my rotation we killed them i was on about 60% HP ( i did NOT use potions or other healing abilities besides being in blood presence). I used two bandages because i thaught their was a huge group of mobs coming, but that never did happen, dont waste your bandages/potions. I only had to stop for health once. A tip: Wait for mobs to aggro the guy that sabotages the pylons, so he attacks them too, overwhise he will continue going foward and ignore you are in combat. Hope it helped.

Comment by Valliecane

Being a DK this quest is REALLY easy, even boring waiting between the spawnings. However, the eye-patch you get is awesome for RP.

Comment by Nescient

This guy uses a wrench like normal people use hammers.

Comment by dogmeat55

My Warrior-Fury-Lvl 82, soloed, as make up when leveling passed up the quest! Killed the worker on the first machine , NPC went banging away, 8 imps with fire spells came all at once took them one at a time NPC got a little hurt but recovered OK! 2nd machine killed the worker, NPC hammered away, then 4 Flying/Walking Demon came out of the gate, took them out one at a time NPC did not get hurt! Then 3rd machine "Heat Something" NPC hammered away, gate let out 3 more Flying/Walking Demons, took them one at a time, waited maybe 10 seconds then a BIG DEMON (Flying/Walking) came out of the gate, I down him, not to much trouble! Gate collapsed, the NPC and myself walked out to his secret spot! Turn in was in the ECO-Dome to his boss! I hope that helps to put the size of the quest/mission into prospect for others!

Comment by hesgone95

Just solo'd this as a 69 arms warrior. Very easy. Just make sure to stay far enough back that when he aggros the mobs at the pylons you can charge then hit with your bonused mortal strike/slam/overpower. I found with the imps and the big winged demons that blade storm was particularly effective. All in all a very easy quest, no idea why they recommend three players.

Comment by Jerodast

This quest did not show up as complete in the API for me, but when I visited the NPC his talk text clearly said the warp gate had been taken down. Not sure why that was but fair warning for you completionists.

Transmog Hunting: (As Of March 15, 2014)

OK, I know there are LOTS of posts "I SOLO'd.......". This isn't one of those type posts :) Congrats on your solo...... This is for all those looking for the Netherstorm Eyepatch or the other two quest rewards for the use of Transmogging. Doing this on a "Boosted Level 90 Character" so she has a clean slate and no quests have been done, no flight paths, nothing......

1. Get to Outland, don't matter how you do it, I used the portal in Orgrimmar to the blasted lands and then went through the gate, flew up to Netherstorm from Hellfire Peninsula and went to location 48.11, 63.43 and accept the quest "Sabotage the Warp-Gate!" from Drijya.

2. Follow Drijya and protect him while he does his thing. Mobs will come running out of the center gate. Kill Them.

3. When he says "Ok, let's get out of here!", follow him to the safe spot, then he will ask you to let Gahruj know.
